The Foundation of GoldSRD

Training that people actually apply

Professional Development is the foundation of GoldSRD. Our course catalog contains over 280 full-day courses covering People-Centric ("soft") Skills, Internal Audit, Accounting, Finance, and Information Technology.

Truly effective professional development — the kind that facilitates meaningful change — is rooted in five pillars:

  • Active learning, not passive lectures
  • Collaborative by design
  • A fun, interactive environment
  • Facilitated by a professional trainer
  • Key takeaways that are actionable immediately

These are the pillars of GoldSRD and the Gold Standard of Professional Development.

Why It Matters

The cost of not investing in your people

Companies with fewer than 100 employees give managers only 12 minutes of training every six months; organizations with 100–500 employees provide just 6 minutes (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). As many as one in three people leave their organization within the first year, and PwC estimates the cost of losing an employee in the first year can be up to three times the person's salary.

Meanwhile, seven out of ten professionals say job-related training and development opportunities directly influence their decision to stay. Development isn't a perk — it's a retention strategy.
